<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 755138, member: 3726"]Try first with searching the forums. Not perfect, but it might help. What is funny is when I google something and the first hit is a post on this forum. Sometimes you learn more by trying first and it helps you remember. Also you might hit on another article or post that interests you.</p><p><br /></p><p>While I understand Franks rant, some of the quick hit questions do not bother me. I skip some, I answer some - it does increase the participation in the forums. It allows some forum members to answer questions and to feel that they are contributing to the forum. To me this is just a sign of the ages - I mean they teach computers, excel, power point to elemetary students now. Not how to add in your mind - that is why some places close down when they lose power, nobody can add and calculate taxes or simple tracking of things anymore. You have to admit it takes a strong personality at times to dive in and start participating - more honest encouragement can only help this site grow.</p><p><br /></p><p>I see the same type things on another forum(work related) that I moderate - you get a lot of the same simple questions over and over. What I find most interesting is who answers the questions - over the years it migrates from one set of participants to the next. So now some of the people asking the questions years back are now answering questions. All just my humble opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
